	Hawaiian Legends: The Hog God
		Poliahu promised to marry the handsome chief and they exchanged cloaks in honor of their upcoming union.

	PELE and POLIAHU
		But it was Poliahu, a snow-goddess who loved to cavort with mortals along the eastern cliffs of Mauna Kea, who was Pele's primary nemesis.
		One day, it is said, Poliahu and her friends had come down from Mauna Kea to a grassy sloping hillside south of Hamakua for holua sledding.
		A racer held the holua sled in his right hand as he ran pell-mell to the crest of the downhill track, hurled himself upon the sled, grabbing a hand-hold on the left side of the sled, as well, and then plummeting down-slope toward the ocean.

		Once upon a time a snow goddess named Poliahu and her snow maidens went outside to have a sled race on the slopes of Mauna Kea.
		After Poliahu sped down the slope, the stranger stomped her feet and as fast as a tree falls, an enormous crack overflowing with lava covered Poliahu's path.
		As the red, molten lava neared her, Poliahu raised her arms, causing the flow to split into two paths and going off to the sides of her.

		Their stories are nature-myths derived from the power of snow and cold to check volcanic action and sometimes clothe the mountain tops and upper slopes with white, which melted as the maidens came down closer to the sea through lands made fertile by flowing streams and blessed sunshine.
		Poliahu, the best-known among the maidens of the mountains, loved the eastern cliffs of the great island Hawaii,--the precipices which rise from the raging surf which beats against the coast known now as the Hamakua district.
		Poliahu grasped the robe, dragging it away and carrying it with her.
